The importance of teaching about the Asian American experience
The diversity of the Asian American community nationally and in Illinois
Anti-Asian stereotypes throughout history and today
Asian Americans fighting for racial justice with other communities

Attendees will also be introduced to the Asian American Education Resource Database, a lesson and resource database.
